Death Toll Rises in Syria: United Nations

In yet one more example of the tragic nature of the Anglo-American
destabilization campaign[1] against Syria, United Nations Secretary Ban
Ki-moon has raised the official death toll in Syria to 100,000 from the previous
number of 93,000 which was established last month.[2]

Ki-moon called on
both the Syrian government and the foreign-backed
death squads[3] to halt the violence and has issued calls for a peace
conference in Geneva “as soon as possible.”[4]

Ironically, Ki-moon made
these statements just before talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry who
was standing nearby as the UN Secretary made his remarks. Kerry then stated that
he had spoken with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov yesterday and that
both Russia and the United States were committed to bringing peace to
Syria.[5]

Both the United States and Russia are attempting to convene a peace conference in Geneva along with the United
Nations in order to discuss the formation of a “transitional government.” Russia
agreed to call for such a government in mid-June 2013. Russian President Putin
then signed a statement at the G8 summit which called for “a transitional
governing body with full executive powers, formed by mutual consent.” The
statement, however, stopped short of calling for Assad to step down, a fact that
sent warmongers such as David Cameron into fits of rage.[6]

Still, politically speaking, it has become increasingly difficult
to paint the death toll in Syria as entirely the fault of the Syrian government,
a goal of the mainstream Western media since the beginning of the conflict. In
fact, while civilian deaths have occurred unintentionally as a result of battle,
not
one shred of evidence has ever been produced to show that the Syrian army
has engaged in the intentional killing of civilians.[7] The “rebels,” however,
have themselves provided innumerable videos and reports
of their own heinous acts against innocent civilians including women and
children. [8]

Thus, with the fundamentalist, savage nature of
the death squads known to the Western media as “rebels” becoming harder and
harder to conceal, the stunning level of death and destruction inside Syria is
become harder and harder to blame on Assad.

With this in mind, at the
recent conference with Ban Ki-moon, John Kerry stated that "There is no military
solution to Syria. There is only a political solution, and that will require
leadership in order to bring people to the table."[9]

Of course, the
question should be asked in response, “If there is no military solution in
Syria, why have Western powers been calling for military action? If there is no
military solution in Syria, why is the United States arming the
‘rebels’?”

In
the end, the call for a peace conference appears to be nothing more than a farce
on the part of the Anglo-Americans who are clearly backing the Syrian death
squads, and who have by no means given up on the destruction of Syria. Thus, it
is highly interesting that the U.S. and U.N. would call for international peace
talks only as the death squad forces are being decimated by the Syrian
army.

Anyone with even a shred of political judgment should be able to
see that these peace talks are nothing more than a card of desperation which is
being played by the West now that its death squad proxies are steadily losing
ground.
